Chapter 816 Gang Action (Two in One)

First, Penguin acquired Friends, then Sina launched Weibo.

First, Penguin's stock price rose, then the market adjusted.

First, President Fang was separated by a layer, then he was directly eliminated.

On the morning of February 24, unlike the silence in the temporary meeting yesterday, Ma Huateng reviewed Penguin's recent acquisitions at the beginning.

First, he took responsibility and confirmed that he made the key decision to acquire Friends.

Second, he responded to certain situations that the company was concerned about.

For example, Wang Xing, the former president of Friends, and Wang Gaofei, the vice president, changed their appearance and became the leaders of Weibo.

Looking forward from the time point when Weibo was launched, many strange things have been solved.

Wang Gaofei, who performed well in the competition between Friends and Friends, thought he went from Sina to Friends, but for nearly a year, Wang Gaofei was always an employee of Sina and received money from Sina.

Penguin's acquisition of Friends, what does this have to do with Sina executive Wang Gaofei and the Sina volunteer team he led?

And including the executives of Friend.com, mainly Wang Xing's non-compete agreement...

Apart from the "cognitive differences" between Ma Huateng and Fang Zhuo, Penguin's acquisition of Friend.com needs its more than 30 million real-name users to fill its own social track, to completely strangle its competitors and unify the domestic arena in this field.

This is the biggest benefit.

Whether it is Wang Xing, Wang Gaofei, Sina, or Yike, when Penguin gathers the high-quality user groups of Friend.com and the traffic imported by its own dating network, they have become less of a concern, and no one can become a competitive opponent of Penguin in the field of acquaintance social networking.

Without the first-mover advantage, the track traffic is sold, and the development time is lost, it is difficult to produce a hot farm-type social game. Even if all employees of Friend.com collectively migrate, even if Fang Zhuo personally serves as the president, there will be no second Friend.com.

Other considerations, such as the negative emotions of the Friend.com team in competition and the seller's face, are secondary factors.

However, it was never expected that there was no movement in the field of acquaintance social networking, but stranger social networking emerged!

There is no second friend network, Weibo has become the first!

This is a completely unexpected trend!

Facebook is famous abroad, isn't our acquaintance social networking based on it?

You suddenly came up with a Weibo that focuses on another direction. Have you considered the prospects and risks?

But no matter what, Weibo was launched in an orderly manner, and the previous things became clear. This is a planned and premeditated action.

For Sina, it is best to win, but if you can't win, just go ahead.

For Penguin, it really didn't expect that the other party had a complete backup route.

For Ma Huateng... pure fraud!

He didn't think that Wang Xing, a project founder who had just left the campus for one or two years, was a tiger returning to the mountain. The biggest feeling was that it was obviously Mr. Fang who was a tiger ready to move, but he actually imagined that the other party had become a sheep.

In this process, including the information and attitude that President Liu Chiping got from Goldman Sachs, there may be great distortion.

Are Goldman Sachs and former employees in the same boat?

No, Goldman Sachs is in cahoots with Fang Zhuo!

An organized, premeditated, and planned fraud gang headed by Fang Zhuo!

Ma Huateng sat at the head of the meeting room, and his mood fluctuated again.

He took two sips of coffee to calm down, and finally injected positive energy into the low morale in the conference room: "The launch of Weibo did catch us off guard, but if you think about it carefully, Sina opened up a new track because it couldn't compete with our Oriental Fb."

"Yesterday's Hong Kong stocks rose, recognizing our progress in social networks."

"This morning, the stock price fell back, but it was still higher than before the acquisition."

"Did we lose? We can't regard less profit as a loss, and we can't lose our composure because of unexpected competitive trends."

"Whether we make more or less, as long as we make money, we are on the right path."

"Martin and I agree that there is no problem with the strategic direction of Penguin social network."

"Now, Penguin is the leader of domestic social network platforms, and Weibo is the challenger."

Ma Huateng's meeting style today is different from usual, and it is rare to see such a long speech.

The more he speaks, the clearer his mood becomes.

Penguin has a unified domestic acquaintance social user group, occupies a year's lead time, and has the most active social games such as FarmVille. The advantage is mine, how can it lose?

The atmosphere in the conference room has improved significantly.

The action of Yikexi is tantamount to stabbing Penguin in public, but Mr. Ma is right, the user base is real, the stock price increase is real, if the other party wants to fight, then win again.

Ma Huateng's speech ended.

As the president, Liu Chiping also expressed his views, and he also apologized.

Penguin's acquisition of Friends.com cannot be just Pony's fault. He also voted in favor and was busy communicating with both sides.

Today, it is like waking up from a dream. Whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, Mr. Fang, who is so famous, is obviously more than just a brush. This time, he has also learned a lesson.

The second important part of the morning meeting was the position change after the unified cognition of the management. Zheng Zhihao, who was in charge of QQ Space, officially took over the Friends.com and will be responsible for the specific implementation of a considerable part of Penguin's social strategy.

Zeng Liqing, who resigned, was awarded the title of "Lifetime Honorary Consultant".

Originally, Zeng Liqing left in glory after defeating Friends.com, but now that the situation has changed, this "win" seems a bit embarrassing. He simply did not attend the meeting. He left Penguin quietly and joined Penguin. investment industry.

The last topic of the meeting was the mobile phone field, which is relatively unfamiliar to Penguin.

As global mobile device shipments increase, the future mobile market is obviously an important area, and Penguin pays attention to this.

But when it comes to mobile phone manufacturing, it's relatively unfamiliar.

In order to answer the doubts from Pony, Xu Chenye specially invited executives from the famous mobile phone manufacturer Motorola and the domestic mobile phone brand Amoi to analyze the domestic and foreign markets from different angles.

No matter how you analyze it, the competitive environment of Yike Mobile is very severe.

Needless to say, overseas, well-known brands such as Novo, San Francisco, Sony, and Motorola dominate the market. In addition to these, domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Amoi, Lenovo, and Tianyu are also competing fiercely.

Neither party can allow new competitors to rise.

The conclusion is that there is no need to worry about Yike mobile phones.

Professionals talked freely, which relieved some of Ma Huateng's worries.

At noon, the high-level meeting ended, and several senior executives continued to have a small meeting.

It has to be said that Fang Zhuo must be given enough attention.

However, after many discussions, apart from cutting off the advertising business of Penguin Portal and Tesco, it is difficult to find any effective means of competition in other aspects.

Sina Portal and Penguin Portal are inherently competitive.

Sina Weibo and Dating Network are just beginning of social competition.

Although Paipai and Yiguo in the e-commerce field belong to the same major market, there is currently no obvious competition between the two.

Where is Yike? Mainly focusing on foreign markets.

What about ice cores? Not to mention.

"In the future, any information about the competition with the Yike Department will be sent to the President's Office as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to consolidate our dating network first."

"The days are long, so there is no need to rush now."

Ma Huateng said with sighs and self-deprecation: "When I first learned about the 'just do penguin' thing, I felt that there was competition and ridicule, but I didn't expect that it was the most serious competition from the beginning."

"When I came to the office today, I was still thinking about whether to write, 'Just do Mr. Fang', but now that I think about it..."

Just do Mr. Fang, there is no way to start.

"If it doesn't work, we will also invest in a wafer fab." Liu Chiping joked.

Ma Huateng also ended with a joke: "Martin, you are indeed the mole!"

Just keep going, the future is long, if you don’t know where to start, just start slowly.

…

Just as Weibo went online for internal testing, Penguin held a meeting, and there was a lot of discussion in the industry, the Alibaba headquarters in Lin'an also talked about the competition in the business.

An executive suggested that Taobao could try to attack Tesco this year as the competition between Yike and Penguin escalates.

Taobao ranks first in domestic C2C.

The number one B2C player in China is Tesco.

As international giants lose momentum, Alibaba increasingly feels that its important competitor in the e-commerce field is not eBay, not Amazon, but Tesco.

Taobao is developing rapidly, and Tesco is also developing rapidly.

Taobao has the June 18th event in the first half of the year, and Tesco has the Double Eleven event in the second half of the year.

Taobao is backed by Alibaba, which is about to go public, and Tesco is backed by Yike, which is already listed.

Can two companies that absorb nutrients from segmented tracks continue to develop peacefully?

Should Taobao enter the hot B2C field?

Even if Taobao does not engage in B2C, who can guarantee that Tesco will not enter C2C in the future?

Can Fang Zhuo guarantee it? Who can guarantee that what he said is true?

Let Ma Huateng vouch for Fang Zhuo's words?

There is no doubt that there will be a battle in the e-commerce field.

When is the time for this battle?

There was a serious discussion at Ali's high-level meeting.

Ma Chen, Cai Chongxin, Peng Lei and other core players all discussed their opinions, and everyone felt that it seemed like they could give it a try.

Yike focuses on social networks. Although Yigou itself is the leader in B2C, its competitors also include powerful players such as Suning and Gome. It is rumored that these two companies may also have plans to test the waters of e-commerce.

Once Suning and Gome enter e-commerce, Tesco will be attacked from both sides.

If it can defeat or bring down Tesco, Taobao will definitely be able to share a large wave of traffic.

Ma Yan was really tempted.

While calculating the competitive situation, he smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is quite ruthless this time. I guess Pony won't be able to sleep well for a few days."

Cai Chongxin drank tea: "It's very fierce. As expected of Mr. Fang. This is also a warning to us. We can't take chances and compete to the end."

Just as Ma Yan was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that Sun Tongyu, the president of Taobao, spoke less today, and asked: "God of Wealth, what do you think of our Taobao's financial path?"

The God of Wealth is Sun Tongyu’s nickname in the company.

"I'm thinking of another possibility." Sun Tongyu considered, "Alibaba can be listed on the Hong Kong stock market this year, and Taobao's growth rate this year will not be slow. If we want to start a war with Tesco, we can start after it is listed."

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, he continued: "Also, since we are considering the conflict between Yike and Penguin and want to take action against Yigou, why not pick Paipai?"

“Penguin’s Paipai is directly competing with us in C2C, and it doesn’t seem to be as strong as in other fields.”

"We can start with Paipai.com and then consider how to better compete with Tesco."

"After all, the B2C field requires heavy investment, and Taobao is still relatively unfamiliar."

B2C requires heavy investment, so of course the company will be more confident after listing.

Taobao can warm up with Paipai.

Ma Dian was instantly more tempted.

He reviewed his thoughts and laughed: "Strange, why are everyone so enthusiastic about attacking Yigoo? What we said about the Yike system just now is almost true for Penguin, and Paipai.com is still a soft persimmon."

Cai Zhongxin gave a reason: "Maybe Mr. Fang is too dazzling and too hateful."

Ma Dian laughed, it makes sense.

He did not stick to his own opinion and discussed Taobao's competition with everyone again.

This time, everyone no longer focused on Mr. Fang, who was always brilliant, but started from the overall situation, planning to integrate C2C first, and then gather resources to prepare for the competition with Yigoo.

That night, the discussion was over.

The organization decided to pick the soft persimmons, and start with Paipai!

…

February has only 28 days. In the last few days of this month, Weibo, which was launched online, seems to show active netizens another way to play social networks.

Yes, campus social networking is interesting, but in such a small circle, topics between acquaintances will always run out.

Yes, workplace social networking can bring colleagues closer, but do you still need to contact those people after work if you face them all day?

Offline familiar faces and people you know offline can of course share your life and feelings.

It’s just that, based on interests and the unknown, such a network status seems to be freer and more colorful.

On Weibo, you can watch Jay Chou drinking milk tea, Yao Ming playing Warcraft, Mr. Fang persuading people to buy houses, strangers mumbling, watching film and television entertainment, sharing books, selling houses and shorting...

It seems that Weibo can bring more freshness and make people want to explore.

On the 23rd, it was launched. In less than a week, Weibo, which did not repeat the past track, quickly showed the outline of a new social platform.

March 4th is the Lantern Festival, March 7th previews the Beijing Olympics interview sharing, March 16th is the customary "E-Commerce Reading Festival", and the Weibo Music Selection Event is scheduled in late March...

In order to promote the development of Weibo, the official account "Sina Weibo" announced a series of arrangements for March.

However, on the day when Weibo celebrities celebrated the Lantern Festival, a shocking news suddenly spread in the mainland semiconductor industry.

The Bingxin wafer factory in Luzhou successfully carried out a 65nm risk trial production.

?

——65nm.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, even a risk trial production is impossible.

The night of the Lantern Festival, the industry was shocked!
